1998-99 MAXIMA A/T SHIFT CONTROL DEVICE - HARD TO SHIFT
APPLIED VEHICLE(S):
1998-99 Maxima (A32)
SERVICE INFORMATION
Some 1998 or 1999 Maxima vehicles with automatic transmission may exhibit a situation where the shift handle is hard to move or operate. This
problem may be worse during hot weather.
Figure 1
This incident may be difficult to duplicate unless the vehicle is heat soaked. Scratch markings may also be observed running the length of the sliding
black plastic shifter strip (see Figure 1). (This plastic strip slides within the slot as the shift handle is moved.)
The root cause of this incident is insufficient clearance between the indicator assembly and the base of the shift control device. This lack of clearance
causes the sliding black plastic strip to bind, which increases operating effort. Two service procedures are provided to correct this incident.
